I'm from Ohio, and OSU considers students from the Appalachian region of Ohio as underrepresented students and has specific scholarships for them as well as makes them eligible for many more general diversity/inclusion scholarships. Also first generation college students (of any race) qualify for some diversity programs as well. I know other colleges in Ohio, like Ohio University, had similar programs.
I worked for a cash strapped startup a while back, and we hired a bootcamp grad. Even though his starting salary was low ($20 /hr canadian), it worked out swimmingly for all of us. He got plenty of training, ramped up fast (with a pay increase after a month), and got loads of stuff done. The startup ran out of runway after another 6-8 months, but it gave him the experience he needed to move forward with his career as well
> consumers are constantly faced with a choice of "buy food" or "starve to death".

And funnily enough, food is heavily government-subsidized and regulated. It's not really a free market either.

Also starving to death isn't really the same level of urgency as dying of a heart attack. There's a couple orders of magnitudes difference in the amount of time available to make a purchase decision, and the level of physical and mental stress you're under while making that decision.
Screenhero. Best remote pairing tool I ever used. Then Slack bought and killed it. I'm not sure why, it was an incredible product and would have made a killing in the pandemic.
True enough, but it appears that in this case a lot of the "greater fools" are hedge funds that shorted the stock, essentially pledging to buy it back no matter how high it goes.
I find the most important thing when learning anything new is a "safe harbor" to explore from. That's why "Hello world!" is so fundamental. And that's why a counter stored into a database is one of the biggest steps you can make - you've wedged the door open and it can't possibly fall shut again. Everything else is incremental from there. And if something doesn't work, you know you can just go a step back and reassess, without starting from zero. Writing code is beautiful like that.

I wish you many productive struggles and subsequent successes in your journey!
I started a robotics company, we develop small-scale robotics for different types of consumers.

I'll repost my comment that I made on tildes.net about a month ago:

You can get a lot of the basics down really quickly, low cost, and all you need is a PC, an Arduino, a breadboard, and a few servos! From there you can build a lot of very cool and interesting (and sometimes useful!) stuff!

I also like messing with vibration motors with mine, in fact I hate using LED's on them so I use that for Hello Worlds :)

I dislike tutorials (I'm a hacker at heart) but there are a lot (589) tutorials/projects on the Arduino Robotics project site, a few thousand on the hackaday.io site, or on Hackster.io with a few thousand more!

There has never been a better and more beautiful time to get into electronics or robotics! Keep in mind if an idea requires a 3D printer (and you don't have access to one), you can usually get by with some hot glue and craft sticks (tongue depressors), also have fun and find things around the house, I use a lot of random plastic containers to build shapes for fun DIY projects, and cardboard and duct tape is always fantastic. Don't let anything stop you from building and having fun with it!
Food is much more fungible than healthcare. The loss of any number of food items can be substituted by an overwhelming number of any other food items without the consumer ending up dead.

Healthcare is not as fungible. Most medications have single-digit or even no effective alternatives.

For an illustrative example and the flip side of the coin, water is a good example of where unregulated markets do terribly (since you really do need water and can't substitute it with something else and it's also geographically heavily monopolistic). Potable water production and pricing in all developed countries is heavily regulated for good reason.
Not accurate and the car insurance market provides the model health insurance should be based on. In car insurance you have multiple providers you are free to choose from with different coverage levels and service options. If your bad driving history prevents you from getting standard insurance, government programs provide a backstop alternative way to get coverage. Yes the alternative costs more, as it should, because you are responsible for your driving habits. But there are also government programs on top of that for low income drivers.

The point is, the free market should be plan A, and government programs should only exist to cover the gaps. Ultimately, people should be responsible for their own health, but in special cases, for no fault of their own issues, government should provide a backstop because it is the right thing to do.

Most taxpayers would agree with that. What they don't want is to be forced into something that is inferior and on top of that be penalized to subsidize someone else's premium.

No. The negotiations are real, and while there is a follow-up due diligence to close (or not) the deal, that is it. Note that anywhere from 1/3 to 2/3 of deals fall through in the due diligence phase, depending on the shark.

The first season, before they brought on Marc Cuban, the show took a percentage just for appearing on the show (so even if you didn't get a deal, you still gave up equity). The second season, Marc Cuban came on and insisted they remove that rule.

With regards to the ADA, commerce means more than just "Selling stuff" so I'd be careful making assumptions about that.
yes, and today those greater fools are the hedge funds. Look up what a "short squeeze" is.

There is indeed a coherent argument for why GME's current price is so high. It doesn't have to do with the company itself but rather the current conditions of the stock.

There are 69.75 million gamestop stocks. Short sellers have borrowed roughly 97.65 million stocks. There are literally fewer stocks available than are needed. Supply is low, demand will be high when short sellers are forced to cover their losses. Think of the stock as an item you are purchasing as opposed to something the correlates to the value of a business and it'll make more sense.

I don't think this is what the intention of the stock market is, but the system allows for it to happen. The system needs to be fixed. You shouldn't be able to short more stock than exists.

Ask HN: Accessible Applications in WebGL and for the Desktop?
I'm building a scheduling app right now using that renders directly on the desktop using opengl. I'm considering making a web version by compiling to web assembly. As I understand it, if I want to sell this application as a web app it needs to meet certain accessibility requirements. As far as I can tell that means I cannot sell the app and need to start over because opengl/webgl aren't particularly accessible on the desktop or browser. Am I legally required to build this as a traditional web app to meet accessibility requirements if I want to run it in a browser? Are requirements looser if I build it just as a desktop app?

"Ngo's coverage of anti-fascist groups has been controversial, with philosopher Jason Stanley contending in an interview with the Southern Poverty Law Center that Ngo promotes a false equivalence between left and right-wing political violence in the U.S.

In August 2019, a video surfaced that showed Ngo standing near members the far-right group Patriot Prayer who later attacked patrons of the well-known Antifa hangout Cider Riot bar. Media sources described Ngo as smiling and laughing in the video, and the Portland Mercury's Alex Zielinski reported that 'there’s no way [Ngo] couldn't know the group was planning on instigating violence'. Ngo denied overhearing plans to commit any crime. Ngo departed from Quillette the day the story was made public"

I created a minimalist CSS framework called Neat CSS (https://neat.joeldare.com). I use anchors instead of buttons and explain why in the quote below. I'd love feedback on the accessibility of that alternative.

It's best to use semantic web tags whenever possible. Buttons are a unique case where you're typically linking somewhere, but the button tag doesn't currently support the href attribute. So, buttons are anchor tags with a class of button.

This is very true, and not at all what I mean when I say "choice". In free market choice means alternative vendors. Do you have other choices for getting chemo besides the one hospital?

You may be surprised to know that 80% of hospitals in the US are non-profit. The evil profit motive isn't the reason their bills are so outrages.

In the 60's US healthcare expenditure was 5% of the economy and it is close to 20% right now.
because the OS did't cache the full ecc block (it views the block size as 2048 or 4096 bytes), and with scratched media 2 reads of the same ecc block aren't going to necessarily both succeed.

simplistic case, imagine we have 1 ECC block of 16k, but we read at 2k, so we'll number the 2k blocks 0-7

T0 - read block 0, fails
T1 - read block 1, succeeds!
T2 - read block 2, fails
T3-T7 repeat for blocks 3-7, all fail

in practice if we read a 16k bock at T1, we would be golden (and finished). Instead we did 8 steps, and only got 1/8 of the data.

This is becaue the OS doesn't have a concept of the hardware's ECC block size, so the optical hardware in a sense virtualizes it, and the OS will just keep on rereading the same ECC block on the media and possibly continue to get errors.
Firefox exposes this stuff just fine: its context menu on videos has “View Video”, “Copy Video Location” and “Save Video As…”. (I thought that Chrome did too, but maybe my memory is faulty or maybe they removed it at some point.)

But sites can easily prevent all of this stuff from happening by putting something transparent on top of the video, so that you’re not actually right clicking on the video, but on another element.

And here’s the thing—there’s a sound technical reason why they all do that, and it’s not just legal nonsense. Those operations only make sense if you’re playing one video file, but as you remark, there are all the various qualities available, and all of these platforms are designed to be able to switch seamlessly between sources, so that the browser never does get told “play this single video file, it’s the whole thing”, but rather “here, play this (1080p) chunk”, then “here, now this (144p) chunk”, then “and now this 360p”—with the JavaScript monitoring everything and trying to make it flow as smoothly as possible at each step.

So… no, your browser actually doesn’t know about all of this, and that’s the reason that YouTube and the likes have stopped it from exposing it even in browsers that are otherwise willing to.

(You could still easily say that there’s a culture shift in this: in the distant past, the web valued simplicity and openness at the cost of performance and effectiveness; but as the internet went more and more mainstream, more and more developers broke ranks and insisted on unbreaking things for their users and improving performance and effectiveness, even at the cost of openness and simplicity.)

Can we just appreciate the level of moral depravity needed to price fix medication? In my opinion something this repugnant and egregious needs personal executive accountability. I'm willing to wager that many human lives have been altered for the worse because of this, and there's nobody taking personal accountability.

Imagine if Epstein wasn't personally charged, instead just his business was fined. To me, that's actually the level of crime we're approaching here. If you think this is tenuous, at least consider the fact that it is proven that poverty is correlated with human trafficking (due to desperation and vulnerability) and illegally high medical bills force people into poverty.

WallStreetBet's consensus on buying Gamestop was born from an understanding of its share price being undervalued, based on basic profit and loss analysis, as well as a promising board member joining who has the background to grow the company's digital business. Brick and mortar business has also run successful experiments with positioning as local e-sports hubs, which could be an interesting evolution for that side of the business.

The insane stock price we're seeing now is in anticipation of a short squeeze, but folks who took the bet before January seemed to mostly agree that the share price belonged somewhere around $30 regardless of the insane shorts. There was hope of a short squeeze being possible, but the downside was considered minimal with the thesis that GME was fundamentally undervalued regardless.

> Compare American government efforts to stop people from using land to grow marijuana. Is the problem that the American government just isn't big enough?

People are generally doing that in areas where people are allowed. Also the government has a stupendously large amount of land that it didn't pay for and a low budget for keeping anyone out.

It's different if this is land you're purchasing in the modern age. If you're buying a million acres for over a hundred million dollars, then that's about 150 miles of border to patrol. If you hire 150 people for that, at above-median wages, that's 3 million a year. Add some overhead, some expense for equipment and buildings, it's affordable enough compared to the purchase price. If that's too expensive then go up to 10 million acres, which triples the land area per mile of border. Or 100 million acres.
Different types of healthcare are also fungible. And not all healthcare is cancer! I think the biggest problem with having any discussion around healthcare policy is that we automatically assume that we should treat routine treatments and visits the same way we treat catastrophic accidents like cancer and brain surgery.

> I think it's obvious that the calves and some of the cows are eventually sent for slaughter. A small dairy like the one above can only maintain so many animals at a time.

Why is that obvious? Who handles the slaughter? It raises the question about this particular place demonstrating their ethics (they went with the name ethical dairy!) but also leaving out valid questions about the animals. In terms of ethics, is it better if the slaughter was handled by the same farm that raised the animals? Because, is it still 'ethical' if after highlighting how well you treat the animals, and after the utility of the animals has ceased, you pass them on to another system that may not treat them as well? On a linked page[1] they say: "Eventually the cows and the bull calves will enter the food chain for meat." and it just seems like such a weird way of phrasing to distance the reader from the realities. (They mention they send them for slaughter but do some in-house: "Around half of our bull calves are finished on our farm" -- again, using the phrasing 'finished' to distance the reader from the realities of it.)

> This is a dairy farm, so it should not be expected to abide by the ethics of vegan people.

I'm not assuming anything. I'm starting that even in theory healthcare isn't very amenable to a market solution. I think you disagree with that. It's possible to have a reasonable position on both sides, I don't think it's a solved problem.

There is a resistance from any movement, when they have the national attention, and another movement speaks up. It seems there is a perception that the public can only care about one thing at a time.

My guess is that any attempt to reframe away from race, towards social class, would be strongly opposed by key interests. That makes it very difficult to get into the conversation, and creates infighting between marginalized groups.

So maybe it turns out this sociology/governance stuff is more complicated than my engineers bias wants to admit. How do you make a decision when the complexity makes prediction useless?
